From pigeons to foxes—urban jungles are wilder than you think!

We’re hyped for our Wildlife in Urban Spaces symposium, kicking off right before #DZG2025 sweeps us into 3 fantastic days of conferencing in Berlin!

dzg-meeting.de/en/program/

We’re offering a fully funded 4 yr PhD position to work on Sexual selection in complex environments at the @uv.es. Co-supervised by @dbergerbiol.bsky.social. Find details below 👇

Mike Ritchie emphasising the huge importance of supporting society journals like JEB in his ESEB presidential address, Barcelona. @eseb.bsky.social @eseb2025.bsky.social

This is a big innovation for #eseb2027 not without it's challenges (time zones, currencies, technical delays...) but with potentially HUGE savings in terms of carbon footprint. So well done @eseb.bsky.social, let's embrace the experiment and make the hub concept a success!

#eseb2025

Aurelien Tellier presenting the details of #eseb2027 which will be a hub meeting, with connected and local sessions in 4 hubs (Gothenburg, Munich, London, Istanbul) eseb2027.org #eseb2025

Thanks to all of the speakers in this morning's #socialtransfers symposium at #eseb2025! Really diverse and thought-provoking presentations, just what we were hoping for. See you all at the posters / get-together later!

Amazing talk by @jennyperry.bsky.social bringing together signalling theory and socially transferred materials. Keep your eyes peeled for the eventual paper with @steveramm.bsky.social @elvarobinson.bsky.social and myself #ESEB2025 @socialtransfernet.bsky.social

Good morning #eseb2025! Come join us at 10:30 in room 131+132 to hear invited speakers @jennyperry.bsky.social and @berasymbionts.bsky.social plus many excellent contributed talks on #socialtransfers

#eseb2025

I'm there now!

And I'll soon be announcing a 2yr postdoc position to work on the (epi)genetic basis of inbreeding depression in Macrostomum flatworms, as part of ANR project FRIDA with colleagues in Montpellier, Perpignan and Lyon. Happy to provide more details if that might be of interest...

A reminder too that we have an open Junior Professorship position at the ECOBIO lab in Rennes, so do reach out if you might be interested in applying for that, I'd be happy to chat www.univ-rennes.fr/sites/www.un...

...and attending my first meeting as a member of ESEB council. Looking forward to all of that and to meet and hear from colleagues throughout the week.

Excited to be on the train to Barcelona for #ESEB2025, where I'll be chairing Symposium 8 on socially transferred materials with @joriskoene.bsky.social, presenting our own research as part of S44 on climate change and reproduction...

Same!

Thanks a lot!

Thanks for this! Can you add me please?
